Small rant : Basically, the title. Instead of answering every question, if it instead said it doesn’t know the answer, it would have been trustworthy.

    What’s absolutely crazy about that is:

    Prompt: write code that checks how many r’s are in the word strawberry

    Response:

    using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string word = "strawberry";
        char targetChar = 'r';
        int count = 0;

        foreach (char c in word)
        {
            if (c == targetChar)
                count++;
        }

        Console.WriteLine($"The letter '{targetChar}' appears {count} times in the word \"{word}\".");
    }
}

      My first thought is that you could write a program that does something like this:

      • Receive prompt “how many times does R appear in the word ‘strawberry’”
      • Run the prompt through LLM saying “reword the following into a command to generate code that will answer the question” or something like that
      • Run the results through LLM
      • Compile and run the results
      • Provide the output to the user

      Of course, the biggest problem with this system is that a person could fool it into generating malicious code.
